How are entrepreneurs competing and thriving in New York’s emerging cannabis marketplace?

Join us to hear practical advice from two of the state’s earliest licensed and most successful cannabis business owners: Nicolas Guarino, CEO and Co-Founder of Naturae, which created the popular brand Jaunty; and Joanne Wilson, an early stage angel investor, entrepreneur and philanthropist who also serves as the CEO of Gotham, a cannabis concept store transcending the boundaries of the traditional cannabis retail experience by fusing art, design, fashion and culture alongside New York's best cannabis.  

The candid conversation will answer:

• What do New York consumers want?
• How do you navigate NY’s confusing and crowded retail landscape?
• What’s the history – and competition – between new brands and established brands?
• What’s the current investment climate?  
• What are the most critical hurdles in New York that need to be addressed now?

Conversation Moderators:

• Alyson Martin, Editor, Cannabis Wire
• Matthew Kittay, Partner and Co-Chair, National M&A Practice, Fox Rothschild

A networking reception will follow the program.
